I can tell it's gonna be a 60-70 Metacritic score just by looking at this picture.

That guy also worked on Resistance, Rachet and Clank and Sunset Overdrive. I guess they were all 60-70 metacritic for not being a CG movie in a game disc.

 

[Bernkastel]

I guess it is not open world, but a more linear story-focused game.

A NeoGaf thread.

It better be 100x better than The Last of Us and Spiderman combined.

I feel like someone at Microsoft thought main character means hero. Ok...

I dunno but there's an AUTOMATIC WEAPON below it on the desk...

[Also] Twitter just told me that tweet contained "potentially sensitive content". Guess the unambigous reference to heterosexual romance was too much for their filters.

 

[LittleBusters]

Too bad they're not using that art for their upcoming game. Looks fucking epic, exactly the type of stuff that would appeal to Playstation gamers.

It would be a dream come true to have both Xbox and Playstation making good big budget SP games

 

[Genx3]

Extremely pointless. Microsoft needs to stop hyping and just deliver.

Whats wrong with creating excitement for your new development team?
God forbid anyone be excited for a new game by a new creative team.

Too Human 2 confirmed.

Nothing wrong with being stoked for The Initiative as long they're working on a true AAA single player experience.

Sylvia Chambers | Animator

Salutations! My name is Sylvia Chambers and I am a 3D Character Animator. I love working alongside people to make the best final product possible, and when I am not animating, I am most likely sketching, reading comic books, or making great puns

So you get to choose what we should be excited for?

[SuperLupeRap]

All the rumours are leading to a Perfect Dark reboot. I would be genuinely surprised if it wasn't.

Now what's left to know is are they going 3rd person or sticking with first person.

I'd like a new Perfect Dark but I rather see something new tbh.

Was in a Resetera thread yesterday where they posted where a lot of the devs come from. The Initiative is basically ex Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog devs. Very exciting!

I know what you mean, same here. However since I've never played a PD game and the last one was at the 360 launch, I feel that if they are rebooting it from the ground up the only thing it will really have in common with previous games is the name and the overall universe, especially if it ends up being 3rd person.

Honestly after seeing concept art from Chambers. I feel it'd be a crime not to allow them creative freedom on their first project to see what they can come up with.

I didn't play the PD on 360 besides the mp demo. Just never got around to it.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[The Alien]

Pretty exciting to see whatever they got going on.

A new IP would be nice, but done right, a Perfect Dark reboot could be killer.

A mature, atmospheric game dealing with a shadowy government conspiracy and some alien hunting. Throw in some stealth and a killer multiplayer (rumored to be made.The Coalition)...game could be awesome.

 

[SuperLupeRap]

The amount of talent in that studio is ridiculous. It's like they're the All Stars of the gaming industry.

 

[SleepDoctor]

Idk how i feel about an Andromeda dev joining tho

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Thabass]

They need to tighten up the graphics on level 3 just a bit.

I used to go to a competing school for Collins College. It wasn't much better, but we all made fun of that school for that shit.

Yeah they should stealth release their game. Initiative studio should never be made public.
